Everyone’s a passenger tonight,Just another accident, Well on the freeway of this life.We’re driving on, and on, and on, and on.We’re driving on, and on, and on

I’ll remember this night when you’re gone,We surrender your heart,I surrender every dream,Every weapon you gave,Every secret that I keep,We can fight this all you want,But tonight we lost it.

Just another surgery tonight,Well if you amputate the loneliness, Let anesthesia dim the lights.So dream on, and on, and on, and on.So dream on, and on, and on And I’ll remember your eyes…

When you’re gone,We surrender your heart,I surrender every dream,Every weapon you gave,Every secret that I keep,We can fight this all you want,But tonight we lost it I watch you in your sleep Cos tonight the light’s we’ve madeWe can fight this all you want,But tonight we lost it.

(ooohhh)

Sparks against the railing,Distant phantoms swelling.Who the windshields selling With the air that’s felling.

Now,We surrender your heart,I surrender every dream,Every weapon you gave,Every secret that I keep,We can fight this all you want,But tonight we lost our way.I watch you in your sleep,We can fight this all you want,But tonight we lost our way,But tonight we lost our way,But tonight we lost our way.

So give me all you’ve got,I can take it.We walked alone in your city lights.Did you make it?We lit the fire and it’s burning bright.

Did you take it?Kissed all the boys in your city lights.Did you make it?Left all the stars in your city lights…Can you fake it?I lost my way in your city lights.Count your men, We stole the fire,and it’s burning bright

So give me all you’ve got,I can take it.We walked around in your city lights,Cause it makes me who I am.We lit the fire,and it’s burning bright.Not ashamed of who I am,I took the pills, for these empty nights,Cause it makes me who I am.

They always told me that,“You never get to heaven”,With a love like yours.Well if you’re lost little boy,The cameras pull you right back down, yeahRight back down to earth.It’s like a chemical burn,Peeling off your skin.And when you see your face.They’ll never be the same again

So give me all you’ve got,I can take it.We walked around in your city lights,Cause it makes me who I am.We lit the fire,and it’s burning bright burning bright.Not ashamed of what I am,I’d trade the world for your city lights.Cause it makes me who I am.And it makes me who I am.And it makes me who I am.

And though I missed the chance to do this,I confess that I can’t wait,Until it’s gone.No I mean this every single day.So go when you can’t burn inside.Cause the world don’t needAnother hopeless cause.Cause it makes me who I am,Cause it makes me who I am.And you made who I am,And you made who I am,Be afraid of what I am.I can take it.We walked around in your city lights,Cause it makes me who I am.I burned it all, and I’ll do it right. Cause I’ll never burn away,I’ll steal the blood from your city lights.Cause it makes me who I am.Who I am.

Number 5 will be available on Tuesday, February 5 via iTunes, Amazon and My Chemical Romance Store.

“Actually now looking back on it, it definitely seems like we didn’t know what we wanted to do in the worst way. I like Danger Days because it’s very eclectic but there’s a cohesiveness in it because of the lyrics, the energy and the vibe. With the scrapped record, it was very disjointed. There were maybe five or six songs that kind of had Vampire Money type of energy mixed in with…. There were some good songs in there but they didn’t gel the right way. You can tell that the band was still unsure what the complete work was and we like to work on a complete thought and this definitely wasn’t.”– Ray Toro in 2011 when asked about the scrapped album they had recorded and the lack of distinctiveness.

I think it was more that we were so excited to get back together to play again that we mistakenly were writing a record when we should have just been jamming together, not writing songs. By the end of that process, we ran out of time and were like “oh shit, well I guess we have to put out a record”– Frank Iero.

“Which is never good. That’s what happened. We ran out of time in the studio. I don’t think anybody felt like that we had finished a full record.” – Ray Toro
